The Wandertec SAX is an excellent addition to the BOB Trailer, offering the ability to contain bulky items in the BOB without fully enclosing them. Used with the Wandertec Cargo Net, the BOB Trailer becomes the trunk of your bicycle where you can toss in bags of groceries, boxes, small bags and anything else you travel around town with.

There really isn’t any limit to what kind of bike trailer you can make, especially when it comes to how long a bicycle trailer can be. Check out this original build from Gary. The whole set up looks like it should be operating on a railroad track rather then on city streets, especially with the recumbent pulling the trailer. The trailer is 8′ long and was made from aluminum hand railings. [Read more →]
After giving his Burley child trailer to a friend, because children do grow up, Clancy was finding himself lacking cargo capacity on his bike. One day his wife brought home a Yakima Tot Rod. Well, since Clancy no longer need another bike child trailer he began the modification process to convert it into a bike cargo trailer. [Read more →]
We received this most excellent photo from Tony at Tony’s Trailers. Ever wonder what happens to those abandon shopping carts you see miles from any food store? It’s not just the bag people that make good use of them. No need to try and come up with some creative cargo trailer, the food and grocery store industry has been providing them for years.

Check out this cool custom trailer created by James of Globe Cycles. He has taken the idea of a custom build to a whole new level and is using it to travel around and do presentations about his epic round-the-world record setting ride and further his cause to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research.
James used stainless steel for the chassis and a phenolic resin ply base. The actual body of the trailer is a Zarges case, which makes this a fully waterproof trailer. James built this as a mobile presentation center, the trailer houses his projector and PA system. All James needs is a socket to plug his mobile system into and he’s ready to clinic anybody, hopefully about how to build your own custom bike trailer. This trailer comes with functional external lights and is lockable. Hope this bike cargo trailer get the imaginative juices flowing, cause it is awesome!\
Back in January we wrote a post about Sean from Australia who had created a really cool custom trailer out of an old school table and some parts you could find around the house or hardware store. One cool thing that Sean had done was to design his own custom hitch for his trailer.
Check out Toms kid karrier a.k.a. a customized Xtracycle. You don’t necessarily need to have a pull behind kid trailer to haul the little ones around. Tom used his fully out fitted Xtracycle with Magic Carpet and all and added 3/4″ thick walled copper tubing and wrapped PVC.
This is a great Xtracycle conversion, using low cost materials that can be found at the local hardware store. Many extras can be added to the Xtracycle to customize it for almost any need. Tom is using this for three kids now, in a few years, two, then maybe just one will fit on there, but for now it works great for three, and I love the roll bar look. Thanks for the photos Tom and great job!
Nigel was kind enough to send us a photo from across the pond of his weekly shopping setup. Its a great use of the Carry Freedom Y-frame bike trailer and stack-able plastic containers. Nigel claims that he can use this trailer along with a set of rear panniers to shop for a family of four for the week. [Read more →]
